Super Bowl Recipes!!!

How about a dessert pizza for the Super Bowl.
Regular pizza crust-partially cooked
Add White chocolate chips on top of the crust
Add Mini Marshmellows on top of the chocolate
Add Coconut flakes to the top of the chocolate
Bake at 400 for 10 mins.
Cut and ENJOY!

ok, here is my recipe for the SuperBowl!

4 blocks cream cheese
1 lb. hot ground sausage (browned and drained)
(I use Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage)
1 can rotel tomatoes

Put in crockpot and heat till cheese is melted.  Stir often and serve with cornchips!
This is awesome!  I run out quickly and usually have to make more or double the recipe to begin with.

Pizza bagels! Get plain bagels, spread some tomato sauce on the, some pepperonis, and some cheese. 350 until the cheese melts, a great snack!

Super Bowl Cream Tacos

1 lb ground beef browned
1 can chili beans (Ranch Style)
1 can Rotel
1 can Chili with no beans
1 lb Velveeta cheese cubed
1 small carton whipping cream


After browning the meat, add rest of ingredients.  Cook on low heat until cheese is all melted. Be careful not to scorch.

To serve:  Put Nacho Cheese Doritos on plate, spoon cream taco mixture over chips.  Top with shredded cheese, onions, lettuce, tomatoes and salsa.

This recipe only takes about 20 minutes to make and feeds about 8 people.  Receipe can be doubled or tripled.....to feed more.  Great as a leftover.  

My favorite recipe for any party is Reuben Dip.

1 can sour kraut
1 pkg of cream cheese
1 pkg carl budding corned beef (cut in small pieces)
1 8 oz pkg of swiss cheese sliced or shredded
1/4 cup real mayo.

mix all in bowl microwave till cheese is melted and mixture is hot.

serve with fritos or rye bread pieces or rye crackers

also great as a sandwich and you can double or triple it easy.

Good morning! Just listening to KLOVE on my way to work from prayer group/coffee. Here's my offering for a Super Bowl party:
Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms
4 big mushrooms
1 lb sausage
Small bundle scallions, chopped
salt, pepper, garlic powder, any other spice of your choosing
Small to medium container sour cream

Fry up the sausage with spices and chopped scallions. Stir in sour cream. (Get creative, add anything else you want ~ jalepenos? avocados?)

Stuff the mushrooms with the mixture, broil or bake for about 10 minutes. Cut them with a pizza cutter into wedges, serve.

YUM!

Although this doesn't seem like a traditional football food, my friends and family love it...
I make chocolate-covered strawberry footballs

Follow melting instructions on bag of chocolate chips. Dip strawberries in the chocolate and place on wax paper. Using white decorator icing, pipe 'laces' on each covered strawberry.

For Super Bowl I always make a HUGE pot of chili. I ask everyone coming to the game to bring their favorite chili side. I suggest Fritos, sour cream, peppers, cheese, avacados, chips....  The list goes on and since everyone brings something, I always have enough food. I make the chili the day before the game so on game day all I have to do is heat it and have fun with my friends!

Hi! Here is my amazing Super Bowl dip. This dip has been a success at every party I've been to! Even if you don't like the individual ingredients, together, it makes a masterpiece! The best part, it's super easy!

Sylvia's Dip
Ingredients:
-1 24oz tub sour cream
-1 cup mild or medium Pace Picante Salsa
-1 package Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing and Seasoning Mix
-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
-1 2oz can sliced black olives, drained

Mix sour cream and salsa together until blended. Mix in the rest of the ingredients until everything is blended. Cool in fridge. Enjoy!

This dip feeds many! Great in the fridge for a few days.

My husband and son love Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts.
*Partially pan fry bacon strips - the strips need to be flexible enough to wrap around sliced water chestnuts.
Drain bacon on paper towel and when cool enough to handle cut bacon strips in half and wrap each half around a sliced water chesnut and secure with toothpick.
Put wrapped chestnuts in baking dish and pour your favorite BBQ sauce (we like Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce)over all - enough to generously cover.
Bake uncovered in a 350 degree until bacon becomes crispy and sauce is hot and bubbly.(approx. 30 minutes)
When cool enough to handle eat and enjoy.
Note: be sure you make plenty because once you start to eat these it's hard to stop!

Must have for ANY special day!  Cook choice of mild or hot sauage, mash into small pieces and drain.  Melt a pkg. of Velveta cheese, and a drained can of Rotel (again mild or hot) peppers and stir together. Serve warm or hot.  It is sooooo good!!! Serve with tostilla chips.
I also make shrimp salad for most special days.
Boiled shrimp, mac-noodles,some mayo, pickle relish and a dash of mustard-of course you can add things like celery or onions if you like- but be SURE to put "some" celery SALT-that is the key to taste!  Chilled or fresh made, serve with any kind of cracker you like!

I have two recipes =)

green onion tops, diced
shredded lettuce
diced tomatoes

My fav is Hot Crab Dip!!!!

Saute 2 Tablespoons chopped green onions in 1 Tablespoon butter until wilted. Add 1 cup milk mixed with 1 Tablespoon flour. Mix well. Add 8 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese, stir until cheese is melted. Add 1 can white crab meat and 1 Tablespoon Worchestire sauce. Salt and pepper to taste, and it's done!

Everyone in my family loves it when I make Cheese Fondue:

2 c. dry white wine
1 tsp. cornstarch
2 garlic cloves
1/2 tsp. or so white pepper
2/3 lb. Gruyere cheese (no substitutions)
1/3 lb. or so Cheddar cheese
1 loaf French bread, cubed
1 firm apple, sliced
1 bunch grapes

Directions
Mix half the wine with the cornstarch in a heavy nonreactive pan and stir together until the cornstarch dissolves. Bring wine mixture to a simmer over low heat and add the cheese.

Slice the garlic cloves in half and add them to the mixture along with the pepper. Stir slowly as the cheese melts, always keeping the heat low enough so the mixture remains just below simmering.

When the cheese is completely melted and smooth, thin with the remaining wine (don't over thin) as necessary. The cheese should be thick enough to coat the bread and fruit.

Transfer to a fondue pot or serve in the cooking pot. Fish out and discard the four garlic halves. Place the fondue pot on a large platter.

Arrange the cubed bread, sliced apples and grapes around the fondue pot on the platter. Spear the bread cubes and fruit with forks or fondue spears and dip them in the fondue.

chopped onion (however much you desire but I wouldn't recommend a lot unless you just love onion!)
1 can of croissants

I mix together the cream cheese, bacon, onions, and parm cheese.  Then, I unroll the corissants and cut them in half to make more of them and to make the bite size. Then, just put the mixture in them (as much as you please), wrap them up, and bake them according to the instructions on the croissant can!  They are honestly so simple and quick. Everyone loves them!

For a dessert...

I love to make deluxe brownies.

I then wrap the dough around the ingredients and place on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with some PAM. I bake the rolls until they are brown and cheese has melted.

Hi Scott and Kelly,

My favorite Superbowl recipe is for chili dip. The best part is that you can make it to your fitness fancy. Either low fat or full flavor!

1. Take 2lb ground beef (cooked with some cumin powder in a skillet) and throw it in a crockpot.

2. Throw in 2 cans (or 4 fresh) diced tomatoes

3. Add two cans of beans. This can be two cans of black beans...or mix it up with 1 can black beans and 1 can kidney beans. I like using Bush's Black Beans for Chile as they come marinated in a bit of chili sauce.

4. Add spices to taste. I like to sprinkle the tip with garlic, cumin, crushed red pepper

5. Last, add some sort of tomato liquid base. Some add tomato sauce, I like to add a can of healthy choice tomato basil soup. They have been on sale recently and already have some basil and flavorings in it.

Leave in the crock pot 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low.

Tends to be much thicker than regular chili, Serve with cheese (either regular or 2% reduced fat) and crackers, chips or pita bread.

Enjoy

Saran wrap a cookie sheet and melt the velveta and spread it evenly over the saran wrap. Let it set in the freezer for 20 min. Then melt the Cream Cheese and mix in some Jalapenos and Black Olives to the Cream Cheese.  How hot you like it will decide how much Jalapenos and Jalepeno juice you decide to put in.  After mixing cream cheese, jalapenos and olives.  Spread them evenly onto the frozen Velveta cheese and roll it up like a log.  Can eat immediately, or set in fridge to let the juices settle throughout all the cheese.

I've lived on both coasts and places in between, and Super Bowl (and other bowls) parties ALWAYS have chili.   I make a chili that has won local awards, and caused both my coworkers and my daughters' friends to declare that it is "better than Mom's" and so forth.  I bet my recipe will convince you (and I even have a vegan version for my vegan friends).  Email me at lizdevmom@yahoo.com and I can forward it to you for your approval.

CARAMEL PIE:

Boil 2 cans sweetened condensed milk for four hours in a large stock pot. Remove the labels and don't open. You must keep the cans covered with a least a 2 tablespoons of water at all times. When you open the cans the milk has turned to caramel. Spread into a graham cracker crust and top with whip cream, pecans and mini chocolate chips. Don't let the cans cool completely. When you are done boiling them pour out the hot water and add cold water. You will be able to touch the cans after a few minutes. Open then to make spreading easier.

Our favorite recipe is chicken buffalo dip

2-3 chicken breast(boiled and shredded)or 2 large cans of chicken
1 block of cream cheese (soften)
1 cup of hot sauce (Franks works great)
1 1/2 cup of shredded chedder cheese
8 oz of ranch dressing

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Heat chicken and hot sauce on stove.  Meanwhile, mix cream cheese until creamy, add 1 cup of shredded cheese and ranch dressing.  Mix until combined.  Add chicken mixture, mix until combined.  Place in a 13 X 9 baking dish.  Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.  Place in oven and bake for about 20minutes or until bubbly.  Enjoy with tortilla chips and/or celery stalks!!

I don't have a particular recipe just a combination that is inexpensive for a large group. I make a large pot of homemade chili. A large crock pot of velveta cheese and Pace Piconte sauce. Include all the trimmings. (chips, crackers, jalapeno peppers, shredded cheese, sour cream etc.) This way the guest can have chili or deluxe nachos or both. The food is easy to keep hot and let set out without going bad.

God Bless you and your Station! Thanks for all you do!!

These are super easy to make and freeze well if there are any left after the game!

My most have is my Layered Bean Dip! First you mix a large can of refried bean with a can of green chillies. Spread the beans on the bottom of a serving dish. Next layer is guacamole, next layer is sour cream with taco seasoning mixed in it. Then cut some Roma tomatoes, green onions, black olives and sprinkle then on top of the sour cream and then sprinkle cheese on top. It is so tasty! You must try it!

This isn’t a recipe but a football party concept your listeners might enjoy.  Way back 85 pounds ago I used to host a Rose Bowl Party titled 4 Quarters of Fried Food.  Literally, you serve a different deep fried food every quarter.  It’s been a few years but my recollection of the last one went something like this:

1st Quarter(appetizer 1) – Jalapeno poppers
2nd Quarter (appetizer 2) – hot wings
3rd Quarter (dinner) – garlic fries as a side dish to bratwursts and tri-tip sandwiches that were cooked on the grill. (not everything had to be fried just 1 thing every quarter)
4th Quarter (dessert) – funnel cakes

I'm with Kelli cause I don't like football but the recipe that I like when I get together with friends is Red Neck Tacos that my friend Tammy shared with me several years back.
You will need ground beef, Taco seasoning, Taco sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, grated cheese, sour cream, individual red bags of regular Doretoes (not the big bag)
Cook ground beef with Taco seasoning just like you would for regular Tacos.  Take a bag of Doretoes and crush the chips inside the bag.  Cut the top of the bag off and add Taco meat and any toppings that you like in the bag.  Enjoy with a fork right out of the bag.  This is great!  

Homemade Stromboli
Raw pizza dough
Filling - Quantities will vary based on how many you are making(any combination of meat and cheese or cheese and veg, the flatter the better. See end of recipe for suggestions.)
1 Stick Butter
Oregano
Garlic Powder
Parmesan Cheese
Flour

Equipment
Rolling Pin
Knife
Foil wrapped cookie sheets sprayed with PAM

You take premade raw pizza dough (you can get this from a pizza palor or a supermarket or bakery) You roll it out like you are making a pizza pie. If you get this from the pizza place it will already be floured, but if needed dust your hand and rolling pin lightly with flour to prevent sticking. Do not flour your counter as it will make rolling the dough difficult.

Lay your filling out to cover the dough all but half an inch around. Fold over three edges of the dough that half inch so it overlaps the filling and press edges wherever dough meets dough. Take the center edge and start rolling it over the filling evenly like a long pinwheel, pinching the edges of the dough together as you go to create a seal on all sides. You will end up with a loaf of rolled dough and filling.

Melt the butter in the microwave and set to the side. Mix the spices together with the parmesan in a small bowl and set to the side.

Place the loaf on the sprayed cookie sheet a few inches from the edge of the pan. With your knife cut three air holes in the top to minimize a cheese blow-out as the filling expands.

Coat the outside with butter and then sprinkle the cheese and spice mixture on top.

Place in a 375 degree oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Allow to cool then cut into half inch slices for serving. Rewrap uneaten portion and store in the refrigerator or freeze for later use.

Filling Combination Ideas
-Pepperoni and Mozzerella
-Four Cheese with Garlic (ricotta, with a little egg and parmesan mixed in, provolone and mozzerella)
-Spinach, Garlic and Mozzerella
-Broccoli and Cheddar
-Chopped Steak and Cheese of your choice
-Ground beef or sausage and mozzerella

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE SUPERBOWL BROWNIES

2 Sticks of BUTTER
3/4 cup COCOA
2 cups SUGAR
3 EGGS
1 tsp. VANILLA
1 cup all purpose FLOUR
1 cup semi-sweet CHOCOLATE CHIPS
1 cup chopped PECANS or WALNUTS (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Grease bottom & sides of a 13x9 inch pan.

Melt the butter in a large microwave save bowl for approx. 2 minutes at full power.

Add the rest of the above ingredients, stirring after each addition. (I prefer the nuts sprinkled on top, rather than stirred into the batter.)

Spread in the 13x9 pan. (Batter will be thick.)
Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

* I like to make these the night before a party. I cut them when they're cool. They set up overnight & take on a fudge-like consistency that I love! However, my family can never wait & insists on having one while they are still warm!

2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 packages Buddig corned beef (can substitute store brands)
1000 island dressing

Put sauerkraut and cream cheese in crock pot on low for about an hour.  It does not have to be completely melted before you add other ingredients.  It Slice the corned beef and add to crock pot along with shredded cheeses.  Switch to hi and cook until everything is melted(about 1 hour).  Stir a couple times.  Add 1000 island dressing to taste and stir just before serving.  Serve with party rye bread or crackers.  Also makes a great sandwich.  My family eats it as a meal.  Great as a left over, too!

Symphony Brownies

1 box walnut brownie mix
3 large symphony bars with almonds & toffee

Prepare brownie mix according to box directions. Line a 13 x 9 pan with foil. Pour half of brownie mix in prepared pan and smooth out. Layer candy bars side by side on top of brownie mix. Finally, layer remaining brownie mix on top of candy bars. Bake in preheated 350 oven for about 30 minutes (or until done.) Lift foil out of pan to cut perfect brownies.

If you eat while warm, the candy bar is still gooey and delicious!

If you eat after cooling, the candy bar returns to original texture but is surrounded by brownies. Yum!

1/4 of a cup of Wing sauce (not hot sauce)
Blue Cheese crumbles
1/2 pkg of shredded mozzarella

Put the cream cheese and butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 1 min. or until they cream together. May take longer than a min depending on the microwave. Add your chicken and wing sauce. You may want more sauce depending on your liking. Place in an oven safe platter and add as much blue cheese as you would like. I just add a little bit. Then top with mozzarella and bake in a pre heated 350 degree oven until bubbly. Serve warm with chips or crackers.

Weird Queso

1 8 oz cream cheese
1 small tube of breakfast sausage
1 can of rotel tomatoes

Cook your sausage in a sauce pan on the stove on med high heat until brown. I make sure that there are no big chunks of sausage. Like you would have hamburger meat when you cook it. Add your cream cheese until melted and smooth then add rotel tomatoes. Heat through and serve. This is really good with the roasted vegeatable ritz crackers but can be served with chips or crackers.

This is a recipe that I found in a magazine a few years ago and it is great for parties or potluck dinners!!! Great bite sized appetizers!!

Super Easy, Super Naughty, Super Delicious

In the bottom of a glass 9X13 pan, spread 1 block of plain cream cheese.  On top of the cream cheese, spread 1 can of chili (I use Hormel, no beans).  On top of the chili, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese (as much as you want - the whole bag works nicely!).  Bake the pan at 325 degrees until the cheese melts.  Serve hot with tortilla chips.  Mmmmmmm!!!

Scott, I think my recipie may especially interest you. Since everyone seems to like Hot Wings and Chili, I combine the two amd make Buffalo Chicken Chili. Very good and goes along way.

Ingredients:
1 tbsp e.v. olive oil
2 tbsp. butter
2 pounds ground chicken breast
1 large carrot, peeled and finely diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1 large onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped
5 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp ground paprika
1/2 cup or more hot wing sauce
2 15 oz cans tomato sauce
1 15 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 15 oz can white kidney beans, drained
1 15 oz can red kidney beans, drained
salt and pepper to taste

Heat oil and butter in a large pot over med-high heat. Crumble in chicken and cook until no longer pink. Add veggies and spices and cook until onion is translucent and veggies begin to soften. Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer over medium-low heat for about one hour, until the veggies are tender and the flavors are well blended.
I serve with a side dish of bleu cheese crumbles to use as topping and tortilla chips. Cool Ranch Doritos also go well with it.

Southwestern Beef Wrap

Sauce

1 8oz package of cream cheese (at room temp)
1 cup of your favorite salsa
1/2 cup of Cobly Jack and Montery Jack shredded cheese
( you can also add sliced black olives)
With a mixer beat cream cheese until smooth, then mix in your cheese. Than hand mix your cheese in and place in refrigerator until you are ready to make your wraps.

1 package of of tortilla shells (larger do work better)
1/2 lb deli roast beef sliced thin but not falling apart.
shredded lettuce--or if you want to get fancy use roman lettuce.
1 8 oz of shredded cheese any flavor will work.

Place 2 of your shells in the microwave and mic for 10 seconds just so they are a little warm for easier folding. Place 1-Tablespoon of sauce on each shell  followed by 2 slices of roast beef make sure most of the shell is covered with the roast beef.
Next place your lettuce then sprinkle with cheese. Rolling like a jelly roll. One done cut into 1 inch round slices and place on a serving try with extra sauce for dipping or for chips.

Depending on how thick you make them you can feed at least 6 or more people on this.

I know I saw at least one other recipe but mine's a little different so I thought I'd still share!

“My dear friend Theresa first made these and they are the BOMB and Paul absolutely loves them!  When I tried making them, they were so hot that no one could eat them.  What happened in the translation … who knows?  So, I went in search of a different recipe of the same thing and found this!  They still have a kick and I’ve changed some of the ingredients, but they won’t burn your esophagus while going down.”

FOR THE DIP
1 8 oz container Ricotta Cheese
1 cup  mayonnaise
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzerella cheese, divided
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped pepperoni
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

FOR THE GARNISH
1 medium tomato, seeded and diced (about a cup)
2 tablespoons chopped bitted black olives
1 4 oz jar sliced mushrooms, drained

MAKING THE DIP
1. Preheat oven to 350 F.  In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, mayo, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, pepperoni, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes; mix until thoroughly combined
2. Spoon the mixture into a small ovenproof casserole dish; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella

SERVES 12

Stuffed Jalapeno

12 fresh jalapenos
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 T. dry ranch dressing mix
1/2 cup shredded cheese (I like Colby Jack)
6 slices bacon
Slice the tops off of the jalapenos.  Slice them in half and dig the seeds and membrane out.  Wear plastic gloves for this and keep your hands away from your face!

Mix cream cheese, ranch dressing and shredded cheese.  Stuff into each jalapeno.

Slice bacon both length and width-wise.  I like to use my kitchen scissors for this.  Much easier than a knife.  Wrap each bacon strip around a stuffed jalapeno and secure with a toothpick.

Bake at 400° for 30 minutes, or until bacon is crispy.  (Can finish off under the broiler, too.  Just keep an eye on it.

This is a recipe for Pizza Dip that I came across in a magazine and it is SOOOOOO good!

Easy Buffalo Wings

1 ½ cups (12 ounces) mild to medium hot sauce

½ cup buttermilk

½ teaspoon garlic powder

3 pounds chicken wings, separated into 2 pieces and wing tips discarded

4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted

Blue cheese dressing (optional)

Celery sticks (optional)

Place 1 cup of the hot sauce, the buttermilk and garlic powder in a large resealable plastic bag and stir to combine. Add wings; seal bag, pressing out any excess air; and turn bag to coat wings evenly. Let marinate in refrigerator, turning occasionally, at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.

Heat broiler to high and arrange a rack in middle of oven. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on it.

Remove wings from marinade, letting any excess drip off, and arrange in a single layer on the rack. (If possible, don't allow wings to touch.) Discard marinade and broil wings until meat starts to pull away from bones and skin is deep golden brown, bubbling and crisped, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and turn wings over, using tongs. Return wings to the oven and continue broiling until skin is deep golden brown, bubbling and crisped on the second side, about 12 to 15 minutes more.

Meanwhile, combine remaining ½ cup hot sauce and melted butter in a large bowl and set aside. Add cooked wings and toss to coat. Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks, if using.

I noticed that someone else already submitted a similar recipe, but this one is worth repeating! One of our friends from our church small group introduced us to "3-2-1 Dip" several years ago and it has been a staple for every party ever since. Amongst our group, we refer to it as "crack dip" because it's so addictive.

3--8 oz. bars of cream cheese (the light kind works too!)
2--cans of Rotel (spicy if you want!)
1--pound of ground sausage.

Brown the meat and drain, and then mix it all together in the crock pot and you're done! For a vegetarian or healthier option, we've substituted a pound of mushrooms for the sausage and it's still great!

1 tsp. sugar
½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. each of these dried spices: basil, oregano, cumin, chili powder, and 2-3 bay leaves

Brown meat and next 5 items in a skillet.  While meat is cooking, put beans in a large strainer or colander and rinse thoroughly.  When fully browned, drain meat mixture very thoroughly.  In 6-quart Crockpot or large dutch oven, put meat mixture, rinsed beans, and everything else.  (Before adding dried spices, rub them in your hands to crumble them up and release flavor.  The spices stay in, but take the bay leaves out before eating.)  Heat in Crockpot on high for about an hour, then on low for at least 6 hours.

If making on stove, heat to simmer on medium heat, then simmer slowly on low heat for at least 6 hours.  Stir periodically to mix things up a bit.  Season to taste.

Serve with shredded cheese and cornbread.

If making on stove, heat to simmer on medium heat, then simmer slowly on low heat for at least 6 hours.  Stir periodically to mix things up a bit.  Season to taste.

Serve with cornbread.


*I strongly advise that you wear latex gloves while handling jalapeños?

1 can Crescent Rolls
1 Egg
8 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
poppy seeds
1 small fresh jalapeno, seeded & chopped (optional)



  
Mix mushrooms and cream cheese in small bowl (add jalapenos if desired). Unroll crescent dough into 4 large squares on lightly floured surface. Press diagonal perforations to seal. Spread a layer of cream cheese mixture over crescent rolls. Roll each rectangle length wise. Cut into 1 inch bites. (I found that using my grandma's way of cutting homemade cinnimon rolls the best way to cut.  Using thread place under roll, cross, and pull through.) Coat with egg wash and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Place bites seamside down onto ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Cook as directed on crescent roll package.  

These are offten requested & easy to make.

The Ultimate.
More of a meal than a snack.
A large serving tray full of them goes quickly.

1.) Make your own sauce.  Start with your favorite barbeque sauce and in a mixing bowl combine it with 1/2 cup soy sauce and 1/2 cup honey.  Once mixed, pour back in the bottle and save the rest for basting.

2.) chop a panfull of mushrooms and slowly saute in butter.

3.) Pan Fry pepper bacon and cut in 1/2 once done

4.) Get your grill Fired Up!!  Baste whole chicken breasts with your sauce. ( boneless / skinless )cook them over low grill heat turning and basting often. Adjacent to that, place pineapple rings on the grill to warm. ( Turn often to keep from burning )  When the chicken is done, cover with your sauted mushrooms, pepper bacon pieces, and your favorite cheese to melt down over the top.  Before serving, top the cheese with pineapple rings and dont forget the bottle of sauce just made.

Bacon Wrapped Bratwurst Bites

Ingredients
4 bratwurst
3 (12 ounce) cans light beer (or you can just use water. Good either way.  
5 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (add cayenne to taste)
6 slices bacon, cut in half

Directions
Poke bratwurst several times with a small fork, and place into a saucepan with the beer or water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the bratwurst and allow to cool to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and place a wire rack on top. This is a must! It will drip while cooking. Foil makes for very easy clean up!
Toss the brown sugar and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl and set aside. Cut each bratwurst into three pieces, wrap each piece with half strip of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Toss the bratwurst with the cayenne mixture to coat, then place onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven until the bacon is brown and crisp, 25 to 35 minutes.

Drain the chicken and place in a bowl.  With a fork or potatoes masher, smash up the chicken to break apart.  Add a couple of spoons of mayo until you get the consistency that you like.  Chop up and add your celery, tomato, and onions.  Add just a squirt of mustard and mix.  Now you can add your seasonings.  You can find the Adobo (Goya) all purpose seasoning in the Spanish sections of your grocery store.  Add in your salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Mix all together.  And serve with crackers or toast some bread and make mini sandwiches.  I have made this chicken salad for my church… Urban Rock in Chicago… and they absolutely love it!!  I hope you do too!  GBURG!!!!  (God Bless You Real Good!)

-1 sm can sliced black olives

Mix sausage, ranch mix, olives, and cheese, set aside.  Using a cupcake pan, press a wonton into each hole making a cup.

Chocolate Decadence


Ingredients

    * 1 (18.25 ounce) package devil's food cake  mix
    * 1/2 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
    * 6 ounces caramel ice cream topping
    * 3 (1.4 ounce) bars chocolate covered toffee, chopped
    * 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Directions

   1. Bake cake according to package directions for a 9x13 inch pan; cool on wire rack for 5 minutes. Make slits across the top of the cake, making sure not to go through to the bottom.
   2. In a saucepan over low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping, stirring until smooth and blended. Slowly pour the warm topping mixture over the top of the warm cake, letting it sink into the slits; then sprinkle the crushed chocolate toffee bars liberally across the entire cake while still warm. (Hint: I crush my candy bars into small chunks as opposed to crumbs - I like to have pieces I can chew on!)
   3. Let cake cool completely, then top with whipped topping. Decorate the top of the cake with some more chocolate toffee bar chunks and swirls of caramel topping. Refrigerate and serve right from the pan!
